See the List of Applicants for Marijuana Cultivation and Dispensary Permits

We knew it wouldn’t be easy for Arkansas to pass medical marijuana, but the majority voted for it. We knew then also that it wouldn’t be easy for legislators and officials at the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) and the newly-formed Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission (AMMC) to make all the rules and hand out permits, nevermind the prescriptions.

We thought that the AMMC would meet last week to finalize the five applicants who would receive cultivation permits. That didn’t happen, due to Judge Wendel Griffen filing an injunction. You should read more about why he did that. Arkansas Times has written indepth about it at the following links to date:

Arkansas will allow up to five permits for marijuana cultivation and up to 32 licenses for up to 40 retail dispensaries.

“The Medical Marijuana Commission has not yet determined a date to announce the 32 dispensary licenses but we anticipate it will be in May,” stated Scott Hardin, Communications Director for the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DF&A).

Hardin added about Judge Griffen’s order, “The Commission was scheduled to meet this past Wednesday [March 15, 2018] to ratify the cultivation scores, which would make the licenses for the top five official. However, the temporary restraining order regarding the licenses from Judge Griffen was entered a few hours prior to the meeting. In response, the Commission postponed the meeting pending further direction from the court. We will know more by mid-next week.”

The following are all those who have applied to obtain either a permit to cultivate (grow) marijuana or to run a dispensary (retail location).
